Seeing that Qing Lin could cultivate on her own, Xiao Feng quickly had someone bring over a barrel of bathwater. He then took out a white jade medicine bottle and poured a little Foundation Establishment Liquid into it.
Since Xiao Feng had long planned to take Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin under his wing, he had specifically asked Xiao Yan for two bottles of Foundation Establishment Liquid before leaving the Xiao Family.
Originally, Xiao Feng had planned to give Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin one bottle of Foundation Establishment Liquid each, but he discovered that Xiao Yi Xian had no need for it at all.
Compared to using Foundation Establishment Liquid, directly consuming potent poison allowed Xiao Yi Xian to increase her cultivation more quickly.
Therefore, Xiao Feng stopped wasting Foundation Establishment Liquid and decided to give all the remaining liquid to Qing Lin.
As the Foundation Establishment Liquid was poured in, the crystal-clear bathwater turned into a green liquid.
"Qing Lin, this medicinal water can speed up your cultivation. From now on, cultivate while soaking in it."
After putting away the remaining Foundation Establishment Liquid, Xiao Feng pointed at the bathwater before him and said, "Once the water in the barrel turns clear again, you can end today's cultivation."
"Yes, Young Master."
Qing Lin nodded obediently.
"Then I won't disturb your cultivation."
With that, Xiao Feng smiled and patted Qing Lin's little head before leaving without looking back.
Only after Xiao Feng had left did Qing Lin close the bedroom doors and windows, remove her dress, and climb into the waist-high wooden barrel.
Feeling the slightly cool bathwater, Qing Lin narrowed her eyes in comfort. Then she formed hand seals with both hands and began circulating the Breathing Technique Xiao Feng had taught her.
As Qing Lin's small chest rose and fell gently, the green liquid in the barrel gradually emitted streams of green mist. They entered her body with every breath, causing the Dou Qi within her to slowly increase.
At the same time, the three tiny green dots in the depths of Qing Lin's eyes became increasingly solid, their flower-like shapes faintly visible.
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng took Xiao Yi Xian on a stroll around Stone Desert City.
While accompanying Xiao Yi Xian as she shopped, Xiao Feng did not forget to scout the areas around the Sand Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group, preparing for the unification of Stone Desert City.
Only when night gradually fell and the temperature plummeted did Xiao Feng bring the still-unsatisfied Xiao Yi Xian back to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group headquarters.
Not long after Xiao Feng and the others returned to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Xiao Ding sent someone to invite them to a welcoming banquet.
Besides the two guests, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian, more than a dozen core members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group had also been invited to the banquet. Xiao Ding took the opportunity to introduce both sides to one another.
When the core members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group learned that Xiao Feng was the genius third brother their leader often mentioned, they became especially enthusiastic and began taking turns pouring him drinks.
"Third Young Master, I, Old Niu, offer you a bowl. I'll drink first as a sign of respect!"
"Since all you brothers are showing me such respect, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight. Cheers!"
"Good, good, good! Third Young Master, you're forthright..."
Watching Xiao Feng get surrounded by those burly men and subjected to round after round of drinking, Xue Lan, who was seated beside Xiao Yi Xian, could not help revealing a sympathetic look. "Those idiots have set their sights on him. Brother Xiao Feng will probably have to be carried back tonight."
As the saying went, men had two great hobbies: persuading women of the night to go straight, and dragging respectable women into the mud!
Clearly, in those mercenaries' eyes, Xiao Feng was like a respectable woman. If they did not drink him until he threw up tonight, wouldn't that be terribly impolite?
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's lips curled slightly. "Not necessarily."
Noticing Xiao Yi Xian's somewhat teasing expression, Xue Lan grew curious as well. Could it be that Xiao Feng could hold his liquor well?
In a sense, alcohol could also be considered a poison. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as alcohol poisoning.
With his Poison-Immune Body, even if Xiao Feng drank until he burst, he could never get drunk.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
As time slowly passed, under Xue Lan's somewhat disbelieving gaze, the burly men surrounding Xiao Feng were instead the first to collapse one after another.
By the time Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had both been drunk under the table by Xiao Feng, that night's welcoming banquet came to an end as well.
The next morning
With Qing Lin attending to him, Xiao Feng washed up briefly before taking Xiao Yi Xian to breakfast.
"Good morning, Third Young Master!"
"Greetings, Third Young Master."
"Third Young Master..."
As Xiao Feng and the others headed toward the dining hall, the mercenary group members who saw them all greeted them warmly.
Xiao Feng's feat of drinking Xiao Ding and the others under the table all by himself last night had already spread throughout the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group.
For most mercenaries, beautiful women and fine wine were indispensable parts of life.
Therefore, regardless of Xiao Feng's strength, his terrifying capacity for alcohol alone was enough to make everyone wholeheartedly convinced of him.
As expected of the two leaders' younger brother—terrifying indeed!
When Xiao Feng and the others arrived at the dining hall, they did not see Xiao Ding or Xiao Li. Only a table full of breakfast dishes awaited them.
After seating Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Feng turned to a maid nearby and asked, "Where are my brothers?"
"Reporting to Third Young Master, the two leaders only woke up a short while ago. They said they had headaches and no appetite, so they asked you to eat breakfast first without waiting for them."
"I see~"
Xiao Feng could not help laughing. He gestured to Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Xian'er, don't stand on ceremony. Eat while it's hot~"
"Okay."
After having breakfast with Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Feng went alone to the courtyard where Xiao Ding and Xiao Li lived, where he found his two brothers drinking sobering tea.
"Damn! Little Madman, when did you become such a good drinker?"
Seeing Xiao Feng walk in as though nothing had happened, Xiao Li, who looked somewhat listless, could not help complaining. "Don't tell me you took some hangover medicine beforehand?"
"How could that be? I'm simply exceptionally gifted!"
"Bullshit!"
Xiao Li rolled his eyes at Xiao Feng and said irritably, "It's fine if you fool other people with that, but do you think Big Brother and I don't know? You used to pass out after half a jin of wine at most."
"The past is the past, and the present is the present."
Xiao Feng smiled and wagged a finger. "Ever since I successfully condensed my Dou Qi Vortex and broke through to become a One-Star Dou Zhe, I awakened an extremely special constitution and gained an incredibly powerful recovery ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Feng bit open his index finger and demonstrated his almost terrifying recovery ability before Xiao Ding and the others.
Watching Xiao Feng's finger heal completely at a visible rate, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were both filled with shock and envy.
